1917 Oct 4 – Winnipegosis

In loving memory of Eva, dearly beloved child of Quarter-Master Sergeant Frank Hechter, now of France, and Minnie Hechter, who died Sept. 1st, 1917:
We miss the gentle child
More than words can ever tell,
But you are happy there above
Where loving angels dwell.

Your tender arms no longer
Embrace us with your love,
But they are now encircling,
God’s eternal dove.

We love thee, darling Eva,
As only God knows how,
But He loved you better
As He has shown us now.

That Divine and Holy Father,
Looked upon this world so grim,
And thought are the world would defile your spirit
He would take you back to Him.

But, oh, how can we forget,
Your face so pure and sweet,
And your eyes that never opened,
But for to love and greet.

We still look up and whisper,
Sweet Eva come back to me,
But you only smile and answer,
“I wait up here for thee”
Inserted by her aunt, Mrs. B.P.
